Inspired by the classic English
freestanding bookcases, perfect for
keeping your most treasured books
close by at all times, the Turner
swivel bookcase nonetheless boasts
a cutting-edge design. The 3-level
supporting structure rises vertically
like a building, each floor furnished
with grooves that act as rails and
enable you to add or remove a series
of dividing panels to create different
combinations as you desire in an
ever-changing game of solids and
voids. The circular base is made from
black painted steel. The bookcase is
completed by the Poltrona Frau logo
and the signature of the architect,
laser-engraved at the centre of the
column under the top.
Created by the masterful architect
and designer Gianfranco Frattini
(1926-2004), one of the trailblazers
of the golden era of Italian design,
the Turner swivel bookcase first saw
the light in 1963 as Modello 823.
